Applicati n filed October 10, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, THURE (L RLsoN, a citizen of the United States.residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State ofKentucky, have invented acertain new and useful Improvement in Dies forShaping the Standard-Heads or Caps of Flows and \Velding the Same to theStandard of the Plow at One Operation, all of which more fully appearsin the following specification. i

To accomplish the result above indicated 1 have a pair of dies with thefaces sloping, say, at an angle of thirty degrees, instead of flat orhorizontal, with an elbow near the bottom of the face, as shown inFigure 1, A C be ing the bottom and B the top die, ribbed at D. Thebottom die has a sink, 0 O, in its face to receive the cap or head, asshown in Fig. 5. The upper one third of the face of the lower die isformed by the pentagonalshaped block 0, sunk into the body of the die.This block G is loose; but owing toits peculiar shape, in connectionwith the elevations N N and the depressions YY in the receptac1e,inwhich it rests when in position, it is movable in only onedirectionupward. In the front of lower die is an opening or slot, X, thewidth of the standard, which extends from the top to the bottom of thelower die, and from the bottom upward and backward in a lineperpendicular to the axis of the face of the die. \Vhen the block 0 isin position, the walls of the sink 0 O are rigid and the slot X isclosed at its upper part, leaving an opening in the bottom and center ofthe sink 0 O the size of the standard.

Fig. 1 shows the dies resting one upon the other. Fig. 2 shows the topdie; Fig. 3, the lower die, with the block 0 removed. X M

is the slot in which the standard is placed. N

N Y Y is the receptacle for the block 0. Fig. 4 shows the block (3, 0being the upper one third of the sink for shaping and welding thestandard-head. Fig. 5 shows the lower die with the block 0 in position.v

When in use the block 0 is removed and the standard is placed in thedie-sink O O.

V hat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is"

A shaping and welding device consisting of
